PHP & mySQL

>Can you locate your mysql.so file?? That locatin needs to be specified as the extension_dir... on my standard YDL 2.2 system this location is /usr/lib/php4

Nope.  Can't seem to find it - /usr/lib/php4 exists, but is an empty directory.

When I do a #whereis mysql.so it only shows me /usr/bin/mysql

Where would I obtain this file?

Thx,
